About the Item

Robert Gemmell Hutchison was born and educated in Edinburgh. He began work as a seal engraver, although his real love was painting and he later studied art at The Board of Manufacturers School of Art. Hutchison developed a distinctive, broad and vigorous style. He specialised in painting children and genre scenes within interiors, Scottish landscapes and his much sort after and highly desirable picturesque Shore scenes. Hutchison was soon recognised by the art fraternity and became one of the most prolific exhibitors of his day. He was elected to many prestigious academies throughout the British Isles, including; The Royal Society of British Artists, The Royal Institute of Oil Painters, The Royal Society of Painters in Watercolour and The Royal Scottish Academy. Hutchison was awarded a medal for his work in 1903. There are close similarities between his work and some of the Glasgow School of Painters in particular, in his use of broad brushstrokes and soft, mute colouring. The style is pure 'British Impressionism', with the artist displaying consummate command of his medium and reveling in light effects and atmosphere. The impasto is rich and yet the handling is free and spontaneous, despite the imposing dimensions of the canvas.
